Used 2019 Toyota Tundra for Sale nearModesto, CA

How much does the 2019 Toyota Tundra cost?

Prices have softened 3.68% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,609 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 Toyota Tundra a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Toyota Tundra earns a 4.6/5 user rating and a 6.3/10 expert rating. The model scores 7/10 across Look and feel, Cost effectiveness, and Safety.

Drivers consistently praise its solid, reliable character, roomy cabin, comfortable ride, and strong towing capability. The overview also points to a straightforward, proven pickup formula that should appeal if you value simplicity and familiarity over the latest tech.

The trade-offs are clear: the truck’s ergonomic design is poor, and the tech feels outdated, especially the navigation system. The expert review also notes that the Tundra lags rivals in refinement and modern features.

With 33.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Toyota Tundra reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback describes the Tundra as solid, reliable, and dependable, with drivers saying it feels like a truck you can count on over the long term. The expert review reinforces that theme by emphasizing the Tundra’s proven V8 formula, broad power band, and reputation for durability and reliability.

That said, used buyers should still watch for age-related wear, especially because the truck’s older design can mean more dated components and more maintenance exposure over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Toyota Tundra?

At 60% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a careful inspection of bodywork, safety equipment, and interior condition. Because the truck’s technology and ergonomics are dated, it’s smart to make sure every feature works as expected rather than assuming age-related issues are cosmetic only.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SR includes heated mirrors, a windshield wiper de-icer, a damped tailgate, an integrated trailer-brake controller, and a safety suite with forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and auto high beams. Higher trims add features like navigation, foglights, leather seating, dual-zone climate control, a sunroof, heated and cooled front seats, and a JBL stereo, while the TRD Pro adds a raised suspension, off-road tires, forged BBS wheels, Fox shocks, a skid plate, and TRD Pro-specific styling.
• Powertrain: The truck uses V8 power, with a 4.6-liter V8 making 310 hp and 327 lb-ft of torque and a larger 5.7-liter V8 offering more power and towing capability. The review also notes that the Tundra’s V8s are old-school, predictable, and durable, but thirsty.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense features standard adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, auto high beams, and a drowsiness monitor. Blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert is not standard on the base SR or the TRD Pro.
• Infotainment: The base truck uses a 6.1-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth and a 6-speaker stereo with a CD player. Higher trims move to a 7-inch touchscreen with navigation and traffic info, but Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are not available.
• Fuel efficiency: The 4.6-liter V8 with rear-wheel drive is rated at 15 mpg city, 19 highway, and 16 combined. The larger 5.7-liter V8 can return up to 13/18/15.

Which 2019 Toyota Tundra trim should I buy?

The 2019 Toyota Tundra is offered in 6 trim levels: SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro.

Here's the short version:

• SR: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry price and still want a surprisingly complete safety suite, trailer-brake control, and basic connectivity. It’s the trim that best fits buyers who care more about capability and standard safety than luxury or tech.
• SR5: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a larger touchscreen, navigation, traffic info, foglights, and a few convenience upgrades without jumping all the way to the pricier luxury trims.
• Limited: Choose this if you want a more upscale cabin with leather front bucket seats, power adjustments, dual-zone climate control, navigation, and more comfort-focused equipment.
• Platinum: This trim is for you if you want luxury touches like a sunroof, heated and cooled front seats with driver memory, an upgraded JBL stereo, and more premium styling.
• 1794 Edition: This is the style-forward luxury choice, with the same upscale equipment set as the Platinum but a distinct look and feel.
• TRD Pro: Pick this if you want the off-road-focused version, with a revised suspension, off-road tires, forged BBS wheels, Fox shocks, and TRD-specific hardware. It’s also the trim that comes with a notable safety-package gap, since blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert is unavailable here.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Toyota Tundra?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to shop carefully and compare listings.

• Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,609 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.68% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $33,150, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Toyota Tundra's resale value?

The current average of $33,212 sits slightly below last year's $34,481.

That softer pricing suggests the Tundra has already moved down from its prior level, which can help future buyers but may limit upside for a seller in the near term. If you own one, strong condition and a clean history matter more because the market is already pricing in some age-related depreciation.

The truck’s reputation for reliability and owner satisfaction should still help support demand, especially among shoppers who want a simple, durable full-size pickup.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Toyota Tundra safe?

The 2019 Toyota Tundra earns four-star ratings in frontal crash and three-star ratings in rollover, and five-star ratings in all other NHTSA tests. It also earns a Top Safety Pick-style mixed result from IIHS testing, with Marginal ratings for the headlights and driver-side small overlap front test, a Poor rating in the passenger-side small overlap front test, Acceptable roof strength, and Good results in the remaining tests.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota makes a strong case for standard safety equipment here, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, auto high beams, and a drowsiness monitor. Blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert is also available, though not on the base SR or the TRD Pro.

The main caveat is that the Tundra’s safety tech and crash performance show its age, especially in the IIHS small-overlap results and the older-feeling driver-assistance systems.

Should I buy a 2019 Toyota Tundra or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.68% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 brings back the TRD Pro trim with a revised suspension and new BBS wheels.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $35,859, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $33,212 average.
• It is described as especially strong on reliability and long-term ownership confidence.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2019 is the more appealing buy because pricing has eased and inventory is available. If your priority is long-term confidence and you’re willing to pay more, the next year is the safer path for buyers who want to lean harder into durability.

How does the 2019 Toyota Tundra compare to the 2019 Ford F-150?

Our experts score the 2019 Toyota Tundra 6.3/10 and the 2019 Ford F-150 8.2/10. The F-150 is the more modern and efficient truck overall, while the Tundra leans into simplicity, V8 power, and a proven formula. If you want stronger fuel economy, more listings, and a lower average used price, the F-150 has the edge. If you prefer a straightforward truck with a reputation for durability and a more old-school feel, the Tundra still has appeal.
